Inside seating
Cesar D.

The location is cool and very colorful. They play common Latin America music. The employees are very friendly. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The food. I had three tacos. The portion of meat within each taco is plenty for two tacos , I should have only order two. The Carnitas were very traditional, a little greasy for my taste but over all good. The Pastor as always at most Portland Mexican restaurants is just not that great. The Carne asada was good. I did enjoy the pico that they serve the tacos with. I would come back and try some of the other food choices. The food pricing is not bad $3 a taco. Watch out for the red salsa it's on the spicy side, the green salsa is very good. One drawback is the lack of parking I had to loop around a few times prior to finding a spot.

Awesome food and good service. Very good selection of Mexican food and beverages Ordered a burrito and a chicken mole plate. Shared both plates with my wife. Thought the burrito was really good and so was the mole, although it could have been spicier. Make sure to bring your cash unless you want to pay a crazy atm fee to get some money. Glad I checked it out instead of going back to sammich.

Fish tacos

Wow! The portion sizes are indeed very generous. Got three Alaskan wild cod tacos for 3$ each, jarritos soda and a side of guacamole and chips. The three tacos each come with two tortillas and two ish slices of fish and a hefty portion of pico and lettuce, so if you play your cards right, you could get two tacos out of each one. The green hot sauce is awesome! Service was attentive, kind, and food came out unbelievable quickly. I will say, the guac was fully blended and inauthentic, but goes very nicely on their tacos. The price is a steal- great spot on east burnside :-)

Outside

Came to the Kern district. Found this place. We quickly found out why people were in line. The food is delicious. There is nothing great about the service. But the food is amazing. It makes up for that. Everything was perfect. I recommend this this. Plus the prices are good. If it's nice, sit outside.

Oh my... I got an order off uber eats and was sooooo disappointed! The guacamole is puréed baby food. The beans have no flavor or salt. I didn't know you could mess up beans! And the mole was chopped up cheap looking chicken with brown sauce.

Dinner plate with asada, no rice (I do t like it) or lettuce (I'm allergic) $10

This place makes authentic and affordable Mexican food on a slim budget. I've had several items and never been disappointed. The portions are generous, flavorful and satisfying. This is a favorite location for me and my friends. Parking can be a bit of a challenge-but everything in SE is like that. They do accept online/phone orders with a quick pick up. They do not take credit cards, but do take cash or Venmo. There is an atm in the lobby.

Enchiladas (carnitas) it was only ok it was a tad bit salty and, a few hard parts (I'll definitely would get the chicken next time). Chicken Fajitas were good but, it's a different taste from other places I've had it (my love enjoyed it he said it had a very authentic flavor). Rice (fluffy) and Beans (well seasoned) both were really delicious. Service~Pearlina was super sweet, knew the menu very well and, had exceptional service. She made sure we had everything we needed and, continue to check on us throughout our meal. Ambiance~It's has a very calming vibe and atmosphere. I love the fact they have a privacy strip on the windows (so no one walking by watches you eat). It's a family owned restaurant and, I would recommend giving them a try. I feel what we ordered was worth it but, everything (except water) has a charge. Only street parking and, lots of indoor/outdoor seating.

Oh yum!!! Several friends and I stopped in here for lunch and we all agreed that everything we has…read morewas great. I had a couple of tacos a la carte - one fish & one prawns. Both the fish and the prawns were cooked in a red sauce that was delicious! I meant to ask for blue corn tortillas but was so excited to find shrimp & fish tacos that weren't deep-fried that I forgot to ask for them. The regular corn tortillas were excellent, though, so it was not a bad mistake to make. I also had jamaica to drink and let me tell you... it was not made from a mix! It was dark, thirst-quenching, and perfectly made. Most jamaica is super sweet - this was not! I love the flavor of real hibiscus and this did not disappoint. My friends had chile relleno bowls and birria tacos, all of which was excellent. Their watermelon margaritas were tasty and refreshing! Our orders were taken by a helpful person at the cash register and the food was served quickly by a friendly server. The inside and outside areas were clean and tidy, with plenty of seating available at the outside tables. The outdoor seating area is under cover making it a good choice for both summer & winter dining. Definitely going on my "have to go back and try something else" list!

Visited for the brunch tasting menu and they delivered in both flavor and technique. It was around…read more$44 per person (probably the best deal on the West Coast) and we were stuffed by the end. I love that they offer a vegetarian option for the tasting menu and I expect no less from Portland. Every dish seemed like it was designed with so much care and is meant to elevate traditional ingredients without being too pretentious. I still remember the tetela and huarache...and also the arroz and frijole and so much more. My partner had his favorites as well. My only critique is I wish dessert (flan) was lighter but it could just have been us since we don't typically eat/enjoy flan. However I do like that it's not so sweet. Space-wise the restaurant is large and beautifully moody with light coming in from the windows during the morning. We were the only ones dining at 10am and it got busier around 11am. Service is top-notch as well and the staff and owner know what they're doing

We came here for their brunch/lunch on a Sunday. We made reservations since there were 6 of us and…read morewe were celebrating a birthday. Everyone we encountered was incredibly kind. We decided to do the $45 lunch deal where we let them feed us and basically got a 10 course lunch (totally worth it)! Since we tried so many things, some courses were a miss and some were a big hit. It was really fun! Some of my favorites were the arroz con frijoles, yes the rice and beans! They are so flavorful and served with house made tortillas. I think my favorite thing was the tostada topped with white beans, cabbage, and roasted corn - insane! I also loved the Huarache with adobo squash and I'm not normally into smokey things, but everything just worked together. I wasn't the biggest fan of one of the moles we were served, but there was a sweeter one that was paired with eggplant that I couldn't stop eating. We ended the meal with 2 desserts and 1 came with a candle for our friend, which is always such a lovely gesture. The fried concha was incredible!! GET IT! Ours had ground cherries and a lime whipped cream and I would come back just for that. This is definitely a spot that's worth the tasting menu! There are so many flavors to explore you will want to try everything!

I've been coming to Güero for 9 years now. Some things have changed, but the best are still the…read moresame. Inside is my favorite spot - the light is good, everything is nice, and it stays cooler in the hot months (won't everything be the hot months soon?). My friend loves eating outside - those adjustable, wall-mounted tables are great. I have only had four items from their menu: the bean torta (the first thing I bought and took to eat with a friend - so long ago I remember nothing!), the tostada (nothing that stands out, but definitely fresh), the burger (I got it without ham and it blew my mind!), and the Cart Bowl. Reader, there is something about that bowl that makes it almost impossible to order something else. I did those two times, but once I had tasted the Cart Bowl with their chicken and avocado, it was game over. For a while (3 years?), I came here with a friend every Thursday evening. Every Thursday I had the bowl. I never got tired of it. The way they cook their meat, the flavors of all the ingredients when combined, always tastes perfect. I have had their margaritas. They are really delicious!! They also have bottle and tap beer options. I usually come during the day, so try to resist the margarita (margarita = mid-day nap time), but I look at other people's longingly. It is first come, first seated. The weekday lunch rush can be frustrating, so don't come if you have limited time to get back to work.

Güero is a VERY popular place, based on how crowded it was on my weekday evening visit. Despite…read morethe crowd, we were able to get a seat right away. Staff is very friendly, professional, and helpful. Ambiance is very casual, and the menu is small and specialized. Chips were remarkably good, as were all of the sauces. The torta I ordered was quite good, and very large in size. Parking is strictly street, but I was able to get a spot a few blocks away.

The inside decor is super cute and colorful. The painting on the walls and furniture is very festive! I love how they have different seating area rooms to spread guests out for privacy. They also have a covered outdoor seating area available. Staff was welcoming, friendly, helpful and attentive. I read reviews about their complimentary chips, salsa and bean dip. We asked for the bean dip, but we found out when we received our bill that it's not complimentary anymore. Bummer. It was good, but not worth the extra $5. They were extremely generous with their chips and salsa, so in the end we were okay paying the extra $5. We ordered the chicken quesadilla and charbroiled burger. Both were great! Fresh ingredients. The quesadilla wasn't greasy at all. Neither were the chips! Our server recommended the pollo asada for my quesadilla and it was much appreciated.
